how to use the utimessync function from the fs-extra library in typescript

To use utimesSync function from fs-extra library in TypeScript, you need to import the fs-extra module and use the utimesSync function like this:

index.ts
import * as fs from 'fs-extra';

const filePath = '/path/to/file';
const mtime = new Date('2021-08-01T00:00:00Z');

try {
  fs.utimesSync(filePath, mtime, mtime);
  console.log(`Successfully updated the modified time of ${filePath}`);
} catch(err) {
  console.error(`Failed to update the modified time of ${filePath}`);
  console.error(err);
}

In this example, we imported fs-extra module using import * as fs from 'fs-extra';. We then defined the filePath and mtime variables. filePath is the path to the file whose modified time we want to update, and mtime is a Date object representing the new modified time.

We then call the fs.utimesSync() function with the file path and the new modified time twice, as it takes two arguments representing the access time and modified time of the file respectively. In this case, we update the access time as well to the same value as the modified time.

We use a try-catch block to handle errors. If the function call is successful, we log a success message to the console. Otherwise, we log an error message along with the error object to the console.

Make sure to have the fs-extra module installed in your project by running npm install fs-extra.
